Yes this seems a bug, I'll fix.

In fact not reading information here could be due to a failure to
communicate with fw or to the fact that the underlying Voltage Domain
protocol during its initialization failed to validate the domain for
some reason (like getting garbage reads of implauusible out of spec
levels from the FW) and so VD decided not to expose the domain entry
identified by id.

I'll report a generic "Failure to get voltage domain" here at this
point if it's fine.

What do you mean ? a blank before the comment ?
Sorry but checkpatch --strict does not complain, I was not aware of
this styling. I'll do (if you confirm that's what you want)

How do you prefer these changes (and the DT one) ? 
All as followup patches in a V7 series on top of
sudeep/for-next/scmi-voltage ?

Thanks

Cristian
